Very well executed

A Brilliant Conflict

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Casting was wonderful for the mains to the bits. Writing was good to tolerable, but the directors lost the cast. I think based on direction and editing, the directors lost control of the movie making process, and stitched together the wrong part of this movie to create a strong Rom Com. This movie appeared under-funded and wandering like a bad Mel Brooks joke of lost Moses.These directors failed to stop the car and ask for direction - the cast was stronger than they were and they failed to bring this back with good editing. WHat a waste of a budget, waste of a great cast that could have done more work together, and mostly, what a waste of a fantastic casting director. I've even watched this twice to try to throw the director(s) a bone - they need to stick to documentaries where the story tells the story. Watch 25 min then go straight to the outtakes - this was embarrassing.

For me, this movie was often painful to watch and even cringe inducing at times. It just seemed the intended humor, except for an occasional chuckle, fell "flat as a pancake" and barely worked on any level.Adam Pally and Sarah Burns co-star here as Jeff and Anne respectively. They're both on the faculty of Jefferson High School, in Pennsylvania. They're also very close friends and both self-described dorks, who become painfully awkward when trying to interact with members of the opposite sex.With the school term over, and the summer break beginning, Jeff and Anne make a decision to radically change their nebishy personae, and attempt to become what they deem as "cool". This will lead to some wild and crazy situations in their lives, and eventually not the outcomes they expected.Just to note, the film, directed by Don Argott and Sheena M. Joyce, with a script from Matt Serword, has highly explicit and crude language throughout, as well as a number of sexual situations.All in all, this comedy was not worth the painful slog to get to the predictable conclusion, in my opinion. As the final credits roll, the outtakes show us that the cast had a heck of a good time making this move, and a lot better time than I had in viewing it.

This is a cute little movie. It has its fun and silly moments. It has also some which are kinda boring, but, all in all, it is fun to watch.For me, the funniest moments were in the beginning of the movie, when they make an introduction of the two main roles: the date in the restaurant and the doctor appointment. I guess these first 2,3 minutes of the movie that were funny to me set the tone of the movie as funny although it is not really funny all the time.It is a cliché movie like millions of other movies where there are two people of the opposite sex. You know from the beginning how the movie will end. It is obvious in this movie too, though the path to 'love' is kinda weird. And that is what I kinda did not like about the movie. The two characters seemed like lost in their 'transition' .The book group - all in all - had no real purpose in the film. But I do give kudos that the movie does pay tribute to books!As I said, cute lil movie, but that's just it. Six from me.

Much in the vein of an eighties or early nineties structured story arc, "Slow Learners" is a fun take on the classic transformation from Geek to Chic, only to find out it's not all that it's cracked up to be. But in this case instead of it being a couple of kids going to high school, it's the school's librarian and guidance councilor, feeling unfulfilled with their lives, deciding to change their reps, during summer break. Hilarious casting by the legendary Allison Jones, puts amazing comic actors in the able hands of directors Sheena Joyce and Don Argott, as they take their first leap out from documentary features to this Rom-com, that hits all the right story beats from start to finish.
